Scoping in rspec view specs

# I created my own nestable version of within() scope matcher 
#
# Just put this in spec/support/view_helpers.rb
#
# Examples
#   # Inside a view spec
#   before do
#     render
#   end
#
#   it 'renders each @client.sales.includes(sale_items)' do
#     within 'section.panel.client_sales' do
#       within 'div.panel-heading' do
#         expect(rendered).to have_css('h4', text: /#{t('sale.attributes.id')}.*#{sale.id} /)
#       end
#     end
#   end
#

module ViewHelpers
  
  def within(selector)
    begin
      if scopes.empty?
        scopes << Capybara.string(rendered).find(selector)
      else
        scopes << rendered.find(selector)
      end
      yield
    ensure
      scopes.pop
    end
  end
  
  def rendered
    scopes.last() || @rendered
  end
  
  def scopes
    @scopes ||= []
  end
  
end


RSpec.configure do |c|
  c.include ViewHelpers, type: :view
end

I don't think so, that line is the one that creates the scoping trick and also as far as I know this is mixin and not a subclass.
